Attribute Groups

Project administrators can create groups of attributes for transmittals. When a member creates a transmittal, they can select an attribute group to easily add attributes to the transmittal in addition to attributes added by default (Name, Description, Path, Version, Review status, Last updated, and Updated by). The creator can also preview the selected attribute values when creating the transmittal. These attributes also appear in the transmittal detail view and reports.

• Only project administrator can create attribute groups, edit attribute groups, delete attribute groups.
• All project members can view and select attribute groups when creating transmittals.
